Deepening the Understanding of the Theoretical Innovation of Adhering to the Systems Concept
冷树青:深化认识坚持系统观念的理论创新
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “The project on the study and development of Marxist theory must continuously deepen theoretical research and interpretation, focusing on researching and interpreting the principled theoretical achievements contained in the new concepts and new judgments put forward by our Party, grasping their mutual internal connections, and educating and guiding the entire Party and the whole country to better learn and grasp the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a New Era.” [1]1 The “New Development Concept” (新发展理念) refers to the five concepts of innovative, coordinated, green, open, and shared development, first articulated by Xi Jinping in 2015. Adhering to the systems concept is one of the “six imperatives” [2]2 The “Six Musts” (六个必须坚持) refers to the six principles that must be adhered to in Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era: putting the people first, self-confidence and self-reliance, upholding integrity and innovation, taking the right path, adopting a systems concept, and having a global vision. of the worldview and methodology of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the standpoints, viewpoints, and methods that run through it, and it is undoubtedly an important “new concept and new judgment” of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. The fundamental and original theoretical innovation of adhering to the systems concept for the three major components of Marxism is an important manifestation of the systematization and theorization of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, highlighting the intrinsic function of the principled theoretical achievements of adhering to the systems concept.
习近平总书记指出:“马克思主义理论研究和建设工程要不断深化理论研究阐释,重点研究阐释我们党提出的新理念新论断中原理性理论成果,把握相互的内在联系,教育引导全党全国更好学习把握新时代中国特色社会主义思想的理论体系。”坚持系统观念是习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的世界观和方法论以及贯穿其中的立场观点方法的“六个必须坚持”之一,无疑是习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的重要“新理念新论断”。坚持系统观念对马克思主义三大组成部分的基础性、原创性理论创新,是习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想体系化、学理化的重要体现,彰显坚持系统观念的原理性理论成果内在功能。
I. The Inheritance and Innovation of the Marxist View of Contradiction and Its Methodology
一、马克思主义矛盾观及其方法论的传承创新
Marx pointed out: “The coexistence of two mutually contradictory aspects, their struggle, and their fusion into a new category constitute the essence of the dialectical movement.” [3]3 Karl Marx, *The Poverty of Philosophy* (1847). Mao Zedong further summarized the worldview and methodology of dialectical materialism as the view of contradiction. He clearly stated: “This dialectical world outlook primarily teaches people to be adept at observing and analyzing the movement of contradictions in various things.” [4]4 Mao Zedong, *On Contradiction* (1937). At the same time, on the one hand, Mao Zedong comprehensively elucidated the core position of the law of contradiction among the many laws and categories of dialectics, achieving the theorization and systematization of the Marxist view of contradiction. On the other hand, the view of contradiction in Mao Zedong Thought also contains rich implications of the systems concept. Mao Zedong emphasized, “A large thing, in the process of its development, contains many contradictions. … Not only must we understand its particularity in the totality of the various contradictions, that is, in their mutual interconnection, but only by studying from the various aspects of the contradictions can we possibly understand that totality.” [5]5 Ibid. In other words, there are many contradictions within objective things; therefore, understanding objective things requires both paying attention to the interaction between various contradictions and grasping the interrelationships among the various aspects within each contradiction. This is undoubtedly a classic exposition of the system of contradictions and its hierarchical structure. Another example is in *On the Correct Handling of Contradictions Among the People* and *On the Ten Major Relationships*, where Mao Zedong regarded socialist society as a system composed of many major social relations affecting the overall situation and social contradictions at different levels, and from this, he deeply analyzed the systemic structure of the basic contradiction of socialism, the principal contradiction, and contradictions among the people.
马克思指出:“两个相互矛盾方面的共存、斗争以及融合成一个新范畴,就是辩证运动的实质。”毛泽东进一步将唯物辩证法的世界观和方法论概括为矛盾观。他明确指出:“这个辩证法的宇宙观,主要的就是教导人们要善于去观察和分析各种事物的矛盾的运动。”同时,一方面,毛泽东全面阐发了矛盾规律在辩证法诸多规律和范畴中核心地位,实现了马克思主义矛盾观的学理化、体系化。另一方面,毛泽东思想的矛盾观又具有丰富的系统观念意蕴。毛泽东强调,“一个大的事物,在其发展过程中,包含着许多矛盾。……不但要在各个矛盾的总体上,即矛盾的相互联结上,了解其特殊性,而且只有从矛盾的各个方面着手研究,才有可能了解其总体。”换言之,客观事物内部存在许多矛盾,因而对客观事物的认识,既要重视各个矛盾间的相互作用,也要把握好每个矛盾内部各个方面的相互关系。这无疑是关于矛盾系统及其层次结构的经典阐释。又如,在《关于正确处理人民内部矛盾的问题》《论十大关系》中,毛泽东把社会主义社会视为由诸多影响全局的重大社会关系和处于不同层次的社会矛盾构成的系统,并由此深入剖析了社会主义基本矛盾、主要矛盾和人民内部矛盾的系统结构。
However, although the views of contradiction of Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Mao Zedong contain rich implications of the systems concept, in the inheritance and innovation of the Marxist view of contradiction, it is only in General Secretary Xi Jinping’s series of important expositions on adhering to the systems concept that he clearly emphasizes understanding and resolving social contradictions from a systemic perspective, and thereby further abstracts the systems concept into a worldview and methodology. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “We must adhere to the systems concept. All things are interconnected and interdependent. Only by observing things with a universally connected, comprehensive and systematic, and developing and changing viewpoint can we grasp the laws of development of things. … We must properly handle the relationships between the whole and the part, the present and the long-term, the macro and the micro, the principal contradiction and secondary contradictions, and the special and the general, continuously improving our strategic thinking, historical thinking, dialectical thinking, systemic thinking, innovative thinking, rule-of-law thinking, and bottom-line thinking, providing a scientific way of thinking for forward-looking thinking, overall planning, and holistic advancement of the various undertakings of the Party and the state.” [6]6 Xi Jinping, “Hold High the Great Banner of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics and Strive in Unity to Build a Modern Socialist Country in All Respects,” Report to the 20th National Congress of the CPC (16 October 2022). General Secretary Xi Jinping’s creative integration of the systems concept and the view of contradiction has put forward a view of the system of contradictions and its methodology that we must strengthen our attention to and deeply comprehend, demonstrating the inheritance and innovation of the Marxist view of contradiction and its methodology.
但是,尽管马克思、恩格斯、列宁和毛泽东的矛盾观具有丰富的系统观念意蕴,在马克思主义矛盾观的传承创新中,唯有习近平总书记关于坚持系统观念的系列重要论述明确强调从系统的角度认识与化解社会矛盾,并由此进一步将系统观念抽象为世界观和方法论。习近平总书记指出:“必须坚持系统观念。万事万物是相互联系、相互依存的。只有用普遍联系的、全面系统的、发展变化的观点观察事物,才能把握事物发展规律。……把握好全局和局部、当前和长远、宏观和微观、主要矛盾和次要矛盾、特殊和一般的关系,不断提高战略思维、历史思维、辩证思维、系统思维、创新思维、法治思维、底线思维能力,为前瞻性思考、全局性谋划、整体性推进党和国家各项事业提供科学思想方法。”习近平总书记关于系统观念与矛盾观的创造性融会贯通,提出了我们必须加强重视与深刻领悟的矛盾系统观及其方法论,彰显马克思主义矛盾观和方法论的传承创新。
Academic research on the methodological innovation of adhering to the systems concept is enlightening. Relevant research suggests that adhering to the systems concept contains systemic thinking, dialectical synergistic thinking, and adaptive innovative thinking, revealing the multi-dimensional dialectical nature of deep-seated contradictions, and is a systematic scientific methodology with Chinese characteristics; it has proposed the categories of “holism, relationalism, and synergism” of contradictions, strengthened the grasp of the overall situation and internal relations of contradictions, emphasized the relationship between overall advancement and breakthroughs in key areas, refined new identifying concepts and categories for the discourse system of socialist contradictions, and achieved an innovative development of the theoretical discourse system of socialist contradictions. [7]7 The author is summarizing academic literature; no specific source is cited in the original text. We believe that we should base ourselves on the ontological interpretation of the systems concept that “all things are interconnected and interdependent. Only by observing things with a universally connected, comprehensive and systematic, and developing and changing viewpoint can we grasp the laws of development of things,” adhere to the inherent unity of the systematicity of contradictions, the contradictoriness of systems, and the system of contradictions, further summarize the systematicity of contradictions as an identifying category of the worldview and methodology of adhering to the systems concept, and deepen the understanding of the principled achievement of the view of the system of contradictions in adhering to the systems concept and its fundamental and original innovation to the Marxist view of contradiction and its methodology.
学界有关坚持系统观念方法论的创新研究富有启发性。有关研究认为,坚持系统观念蕴含了系统性思维、辩证协同性思维、适应性创新思维,揭示深层次矛盾的多元辩证性,是具有中国特色的系统科学方法论;提出了矛盾“整体论、关联论、协同论”的范畴,加强了对矛盾的全局性及内在关系的把握,强调整体推进和重点突破的关系,提炼了关于社会主义矛盾话语体系新的标识性概念、范畴,实现了对社会主义矛盾理论话语体系的创新性发展。我们认为,应立足“万事万物是相互联系、相互依存的。只有用普遍联系的、全面系统的、发展变化的观点观察事物,才能把握事物发展规律”的系统观念本体论阐释,坚持矛盾系统性与系统矛盾性以及矛盾系统的内在统一性,进一步将矛盾系统性概括为坚持系统观念的世界观和方法论的标识性范畴,深化认识坚持系统观念的矛盾系统观原理性成果及其对马克思主义矛盾观及其方法论的基础性、原创性创新。
II. The Inheritance and Innovation of Marxist Political Economy and Scientific Socialism
二、马克思主义政治经济学和科学社会主义的传承创新
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that the systems concept has been a fundamental way of thinking and working since the 18th National Congress of the CPC. [8]8 The 18th National Congress of the CPC was held in November 2012, marking the beginning of the New Era under Xi Jinping’s leadership. “China’s development environment faces profound and complex changes, the problem of unbalanced and inadequate development remains prominent, and contradictions in economic and social development are complex and intertwined. We must plan and resolve them from the perspective of the systems concept, comprehensively and coordinately promoting work in all areas and socialist modernization.” [9]9 Xi Jinping, “Explanation of the ‘Recommendations of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-Range Objectives Through the Year 2035’” (3 November 2020). Thus, the fundamental and original theoretical innovation of the principled achievement of the view of the system of contradictions and its methodology in adhering to the systems concept can be further understood as being manifested not only in the Marxist view of contradiction and its methodology but also in Marxist political economy and scientific socialism, covering the three major components of Marxism, and deepening the understanding of the laws governing the governance of the Communist Party, the laws of socialist construction, and the laws of human social development.
习近平总书记强调,系统观念是党的十八大以来基础性的思想和工作方法。“我国发展环境面临深刻复杂变化,发展不平衡不充分问题仍然突出,经济社会发展中矛盾错综复杂,必须从系统观念出发加以谋划和解决,全面协调推动各领域工作和社会主义现代化建设。”由此,坚持系统观念的矛盾系统观及其方法论的原理性成果的基础性、原创性理论创新,我们可以进一步深化理解为,既体现在马克思主义矛盾观及其方法论上,也表现在马克思主义政治经济学和科学社会主义上,涵盖马克思主义三大组成部分,深化了对共产党执政规律、社会主义建设规律和人类社会发展规律的认识。
First, from the perspective of the content structure of the theoretical system of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, adhering to the systems concept is an important part of the creative answers to what kind of socialism with Chinese characteristics to uphold and develop in the New Era and how to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics, what kind of socialist modernized power to build and how to build a socialist modernized power, and what kind of long-term governing Marxist party to build and how to build a long-term governing Marxist party. It is fully embodied in the “Ten Clarifications,” the “Fourteen Perseverances,” and the “Achievements in Thirteen Areas” [10]10 The “Ten Clarifications” (十个明确), “Fourteen Perseverances” (十四个坚持), and “Achievements in Thirteen Areas” (十三个方面成就) are the three main components of the theoretical framework of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, as outlined in official Party documents. of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, covering the fields of reform, development, and stability; internal affairs, foreign affairs, and national defense; and governance of the Party, the state, and the military. It runs through the basic issues of the overall goal, overall task, overall layout, and strategic layout of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the New Era, as well as the direction of development, mode of development, driving force for development, strategic steps, external conditions, and political guarantees. It governs all aspects of the economy, politics, rule of law, science and technology, culture, education, people’s livelihood, ethnicity, religion, society, ecological civilization, national security, national defense and the military, “one country, two systems” and national reunification, the united front, diplomacy, and Party building, thus constituting the intrinsic characteristics of Xi Jinping’s economic thought, Xi Jinping’s thought on the rule of law, Xi Jinping’s thought on ecological civilization, Xi Jinping’s thought on diplomacy, Xi Jinping’s thought on strengthening the military, and other series of important expositions by General Secretary Xi Jinping, thereby profoundly revealing the rich connotations of adapting Marxist political economy and scientific socialism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times.
首先,从习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想理论体系的内容结构上讲,坚持系统观念是关于新时代坚持和发展什么样的中国特色社会主义、怎样坚持和发展中国特色社会主义,建设什么样的社会主义现代化强国、怎样建设社会主义现代化强国,建设什么样的长期执政的马克思主义政党、怎样建设长期执政的马克思主义政党的创造性回答的重要内容,全面体现在习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的“十个明确”“十四个坚持”“十三个方面成就”中,涵盖改革发展稳定、内政外交国防、治党治国治军等领域,贯穿新时代坚持和发展中国特色社会主义的总目标、总任务、总体布局、战略布局和发展方向、发展方式、发展动力、战略步骤、外部条件、政治保证等基本问题,统摄经济、政治、法治、科技、文化、教育、民生、民族、宗教、社会、生态文明、国家安全、国防和军队、“一国两制”和祖国统一、统一战线、外交、党的建设等各个方面,构成习近平经济思想、习近平法治思想、习近平生态文明思想、习近平外交思想、习近平强军思想以及习近平总书记其它系列重要论述等的内在特征,由此深刻揭示出马克思主义政治经济学和科学社会主义中国化时代化的丰富内涵。
Secondly, from the perspective of the scholarly logic of the theoretical system of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, an important marker of socialism with Chinese characteristics entering a new historical juncture is the formation of the principal contradiction in the New Era, and the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation from standing up and growing prosperous to becoming strong is the effective resolution of the principal contradiction in the New Era. The principal contradiction in the New Era is the logical foundation and logical starting point of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and it is also the logical foundation and logical starting point of Xi Jinping’s important discourse on adhering to the systems concept. In other words, adhering to the systems concept is in fact the systems concept of scientifically grasping and effectively resolving the principal contradiction in the New Era; the systemic nature of contradiction profoundly reveals the scholarly logic of the scientific thesis of the principal contradiction in the New Era. In short, the scientific thesis of the principal contradiction in the New Era has laid the logical foundation of the contradiction-system view for adhering to the systems concept. The political economy and scientific socialism of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era are the logical unfolding of the contradiction-system view of adhering to the systems concept and its methodology.
其次,从习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想理论体系的学理逻辑上讲,中国特色社会主义跨入新的历史方位的重要标志是新时代社会主要矛盾的形成,中华民族伟大复兴从站起来、富起来到强起来的实现是新时代社会主要矛盾的有效化解。新时代社会主要矛盾是习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的逻辑基础、逻辑起点,同时也是习近平总书记关于坚持系统观念的逻辑基础、逻辑起点。或者说,坚持系统观念实际上即是科学把握与有效化解新时代社会主要矛盾的系统观念,矛盾系统性深刻揭示出新时代社会主要矛盾科学论断的学理逻辑。简言之,新时代社会主要矛盾的科学论断奠定了坚持系统观念的矛盾系统观逻辑基础。习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的政治经济学和科学社会主义即是坚持系统观念的矛盾系统观及其方法论逻辑展开。
Therefore, in terms of fundamental and original theoretical innovation in Marxist political economy, the systems concept that constitutes our scientific understanding and effective resolution of the principal contradiction in the New Era has driven the theme of the political economy of socialism with Chinese characteristics to shift toward “becoming strong,” and on this basis has formed the core stance, fundamental guidance, and development goals of the political economy of “becoming strong” in the New Era, forming a systematic doctrine of the political economy of “becoming strong” in the New Era. Moreover, “the New Development Concept itself is the intellectual achievement and action guide of the systems concept; to fully and accurately implement the New Development Concept, one must grasp from the whole and in dynamics the internal connections among the various elements of the New Development Concept that interpenetrate and mutually reinforce each other, and effectively promote high-quality development in all fields and undertakings of the economy and society.” [1]1 The “New Development Concept” (新发展理念) refers to the five concepts of innovative, coordinated, green, open, and shared development, first articulated by Xi Jinping in 2015.
因此,在马克思主义政治经济学的基础性、原创性理论创新方面,构成我们科学认识和有效化解新时代社会主要矛盾的系统观念,推动了中国特色社会主义政治经济学的主题转向“强起来”,并在此基础上形成了新时代“强起来”政治经济学的核心立场、根本指导和发展目标,形成了新时代“强起来”政治经济学的系统化学说。而且,“新发展理念本身就是系统观念的思想成果和行动指南,完整准确贯彻新发展理念,要从整体上和动态中把握新发展理念各个要素相互贯通、相互促进的内在联系,切实推进经济社会各个领域各项事业高质量发展。”
In terms of fundamental and original theoretical innovation in scientific socialism, the systems concept of the scientific thesis of the principal contradiction in the New Era has inherited and innovated the theory of the principal contradiction in socialist society, while simultaneously endowing scientific socialism with the connotation and characteristics of the systems concept in the effective resolution of the principal contradiction in the New Era.
在科学社会主义的基础性、原创性理论创新方面,新时代社会主要矛盾科学论断的系统观念传承创新了社会主义社会主要矛盾理论,同时在有关新时代社会主要矛盾的有效化解中赋予科学社会主义的系统观念内涵特征。
III. Major Principled Theoretical Achievements of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era
三、习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的重大原理性理论成果
Xi Jinping’s important discourse on adhering to the systems concept, the contradiction-system view, by integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with China’s specific realities and with the fine traditional Chinese culture, has achieved fundamental and original theoretical innovation in the three major components of the Marxist view of contradiction and its methodology, Marxist political economy, and scientific socialism. It profoundly reveals that adhering to the systems concept is a major principled theoretical achievement of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, which is Marxism for contemporary China and Marxism for the 21st century. It is necessary to attach importance to and strengthen the profound comprehension and deepened understanding of Xi Jinping’s series of important discourses on adhering to the systems concept.
习近平总书记关于坚持系统观念的矛盾系统观,把马克思主义基本原理同中国具体实际相结合、同中华优秀传统文化相结合,实现了对马克思主义矛盾观及其方法论、马克思主义政治经济学和科学社会主义的三大组成部分的基础性、原创性理论创新,深刻揭示出坚持系统观念是当代中国马克思主义、21世纪马克思主义的习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的重大原理性理论成果,须重视与加强对习近平总书记关于坚持系统观念系列重要论述的深刻领悟与深化认识。
First, based on Mao Zedong’s exposition in “On Contradiction” of the world outlook and methodology of dialectical materialism as the Marxist view of contradiction, we should deepen our understanding of the principled theoretical achievement of the contradiction-system view of adhering to the systems concept at the height of the world outlook and methodology of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and profoundly comprehend the function of the contradiction-system view in systematizing and theorizing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. Therefore, in a certain sense, it can be said that the theoretical system of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is the logical unfolding of the contradiction-system view of adhering to the systems concept and its methodology, thereby further constructing a theoretical system of Marxism for contemporary China and Marxism for the 21st century with a distinct theme, rich content, profound thought, and rigorous logic.
首先,立足于毛泽东在《矛盾论》中将唯物辩证法的世界观和方法论阐释为马克思主义矛盾观,应在习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的世界观和方法论高度深化认识坚持系统观念的矛盾系统观原理性理论成果,深刻领悟矛盾系统观有关习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的体系化、学理化功能。因此,这在一定意义上可以说,习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的理论体系是坚持系统观念的矛盾系统观及其方法论的逻辑展开,由此进一步构建了主题鲜明、内容丰富、思想深邃和逻辑严密的当代中国马克思主义、21世纪马克思主义理论体系。
Second, the contradiction-system view of adhering to the systems concept has integrated and mastered the Marxist view of contradiction and the systems philosophy of modern natural science, constructing an academic system and discourse system of the contradiction-system view and its methodology, and achieving a paradigm innovation in Marxist philosophy. On the one hand, in the inheritance and innovation of the Marxist view of contradiction, it has for the first time clearly proposed and constructed the world outlook and methodology of the systems concept and the logical system of the standpoints, viewpoints, and methods that run through them, promoting the adaptation of the Marxist view of contradiction, as well as dialectical materialism and historical materialism, to the Chinese context and the needs of the times. On the other hand, it has creatively drawn on the systems philosophy of modern natural science, proposing a series of new categories such as systems thinking, bottom-line thinking, innovative thinking, forward-looking consideration, overall planning, holistic advancement, correlation, systematicity, and synergy. Relevant research holds that, taking the systems concept as the overarching framework, including the scientific thinking method group comprising strategic thinking, dialectical thinking, historical thinking, law-based thinking, bottom-line thinking, and innovative thinking, it integrates the theories of systems science such as “system and element,” “structure and function,” and “control and feedback” with dialectical materialism, injecting fresh blood into dialectical thinking and systems science. Therefore, the academic system and discourse system of the contradiction-system view, which has achieved a paradigm innovation in Marxist philosophy, possesses a profound scholarly foundation in Marxist philosophy and the systems philosophy of modern natural science. It is an intrinsic unity of practicality, contemporaneity, thoughtfulness, and scientificity. It plays an important guiding role in the disciplinary systems and categories of philosophy and social sciences, including traditional disciplines, emerging disciplines, frontier disciplines, cross-disciplinary disciplines, and niche disciplines. It is the world outlook and methodology for constructing a disciplinary system, academic system, and discourse system with Chinese characteristics.
其次,坚持系统观念的矛盾系统观融会贯通了马克思主义矛盾观和现代自然科学的系统哲学思想,构建了矛盾系统观及其方法论的学术体系、话语体系,实现了马克思主义哲学的范式创新。一方面,在马克思主义矛盾观的传承创新中,首次明确提出并构建了系统观念的世界观和方法论以及贯穿其中的立场观点方法的逻辑体系,推动了马克思主义矛盾观以及唯物辩证法、唯物史观的中国化时代化。另一方面,创造性地借鉴现代自然科学的系统哲学思想,提出了系统思维、底线思维、创新思维,前瞻性思考、全局性谋划、整体性推进,关联性、系统性、协同性,等等一系列新的范畴。有关研究认为,以系统观念为统摄,包括战略思维、辩证思维、历史思维、法治思维、底线思维、创新思维在内的科学思维方法群,将“系统和要素”“结构和功能”“控制和反馈”等系统科学的理论与唯物辩证法相融合,为辩证思维和系统科学提供新鲜血液。因此,实现了马克思主义哲学范式创新的矛盾系统观学术体系、话语体系具有深厚的马克思主义哲学和现代自然科学的系统哲学学理基础,是实践性、时代性、思想性和科学性的内在统一,对传统学科、新兴学科、前沿学科、交叉学科、冷门学科等哲学社会科学学科体系和门类具有重要的指导作用,是具有中国特色的学科体系、学术体系与话语体系建设的世界观和方法论。
